NINTH INSTALLMENT "I dare say your idea of a per fect dancer and Barbara's are very different," Dennis broke in calmly. And hadnt you better sit down, my dear? You're in the way there." Pauline moved hurriedly, her pret ty face flushing with pleasure at the casual word of endearment. Barbara noted it pityingly. Later, when she was dancing with Jerry Barnett, she said suddenly: "Have you ever noticed, Jerry, that when a man begins to call his wife 'my dear' it's the end of ro mance?" '?i i ? Jerry guffawed. "Can't say I have, but I dare say you're right. Ro mance is the shortest lived thirtg I know of, anyway. Awful!"' Barbara glanced across the room to where Dennis and his wife Sat ^k^ther at the supepr table. Paul B was watching the dancers eag Wy, her face flushed and her eyes very bright. Dennis was watching them too ? moodily, his hand idly playing with a wineglass. When she and Barnet went back to the table, Dennis rose. "Am I to be honored?" he asked stiffly. Pauline broke in. "Do dance with him. Barbie ? I should love you to, and it is a waltz they are playing now." Barbara laughed. "Well, to please you. . . . She moved away onto the crowded floor with Dennis. They danced for some time in silence; then Dennis asked Abruptly: "Do you really like this sort of thing?" "What sort of thing?" "This' noise and glaje ? and ? and artificiality." . -- j "I adore it," Barbara said. It was not the truth, but tonight she was afraid of the truth. "I loathe it." "Why are you here, then?" "Because you are." Suddenly he swept her away from the crowded floor and through an arched alcove* into a small unoccu "We're not allowed here,1' Barbara said calmly. "In a moment. I want to speak to you." "Pauline will miss us." "She is dancing with Barnet ? I saw her." "Let me go." . "In a moment." He was between her and the ballroom. "Look. Bar- | bara ? answer me one question and I swear 111 never mention it again. I don't know what you've done to me. It's ? it's like being possessed ? I've fought against it ever since you left us. It's no use. I've tried to despise ydu. 'I pretended I didn't like you ? but that makes no differ ence. When I wa.s smashed up ? j you kissed me, Barbara." There was a tragic silence, and the scornful smile died slowly from Barbara's face, and she just looked at him. fter lips quivering, her eyes suddenly very young. Then she ?^ved her hand slowly and touched j ^^Denniy ? Pauline is very fond of me" "I know." "Well, then ? " she took her hand away ? "let us go back, shall we?" ? Dennis went on quickly: "I don't" know what you've done to. me. But: if yaull just tell me ? 111 never ask you again. If I'd been free ? " Her trembling lips smiled. ? j "Such a big 'if,' Dennis." At that moment he seemed- to her almost a boy ? no longer the disap proving, almost brusque man she had known, and at that moment she felt also as if all her bitter ex perience had been swept away from her and she was a girl again, in love for the first time. She -closed her eyes, and as almost unconsciously she- swayed toward him. Dennis caught her in his arms. * ? . * On the way home Jerry Barnet was silent and sulky. It was three o'clock in the morning, gray and chilly with a fine drizzle of rain. Wrapped in her fur cloak Bar bara sat with closed eyes and tried not to think, it was only when they shopped outside her fiat that she roused suddenly with a start. She flung the rugs aside. "I'm tired. , Why do we do these mad things, ! Jefry? It's a loathsome life.'' ? "You seemed -to be enjoying yourself," he paused, 'lAt any rate, with OUara. I thought you didn't like him." \ "I don't remember discussing the sublect with you." "You did. You said it was a bore when you heard they were coming to town." The street looked dreary and de serted. there was not a light in any window of the tall" block of "flats.: Barbara shivered. "Well ? good nisrht," she said. Barnet tried to put his arms round her. "Are you going to have an af- . | fair with that felolw?" he demand ed jealously. "I saw him take you into Ritzen's room -of did you take him?" He broke off sharply, for instead of the burst of anger he had ex pected, Barbara began to cry ? soft ly, almost like a child. She slipped away from him, and he let her go. Barbara in a rage he could understand and cope with, but Barbara in tears ? sobbing like a girl ? left him helpless and ashamed. It was a strange thing that, once j Safely in her room, Barbara's chief | j feeling should be one of guilt. ' It was nat ,that she had any great af jfection for Pauline. She felt that somehow she was wronging Dennis. He was, as he had said, so unlike other men. Dennis was different and she knew that he despised him self for the thing he could not con trol. Yet the strange inexplicable attraction which she had felt for him for so long had now communi cated itself to him and was proving stronger than his own inherent loyalty. Barbara was essentially honest with herself. No matter how much she posed and dissembled before her world she never for one mom bed and said &o. "I'll have mine downstairs and come up again," he Said. So Pauline had hers alone. There wfcs a long mirror in a wardrobe door opposite, and in it she could see her reflec tion ? a very charming reflection. The new negligee suited her, she decided, and she wondered wistfully why Dennis had not told her so. She sighed and took up the fetter. My Darling Child [her mother wrote]: & I am sititng up in bed writing this, as I have not been very well. It seems such a long time since I saw you, Pauline, and as Daddy has to go to Los Angeles on business for a few days I am wondering if Den nis will spare you to me? I have not been very well ? it's my silly old heart again, so Dr. Panthan says, but I feel sure a rest and a sight of you will put me right. How are you, sweetheart? Your letters tell me so little, and I long to %ee you and know that you are happy. Of course, if Dennis will come too, we shall be only too pleased to have him, but I am sure he must be anxious not to leave business after such a long absence. . . . There was a good deal more, little "Dennis caught her in his arms." ent tried to pretend to herself that she was any better than she was. And now at four o'clock In this gray morning she sat down by the fire before she went to bed and looked into her heart with cool de liberation. She loved Dennis O'Hara as she had never loved any man ? that was a truth that she had never ques tioned. She was sufficiently a wo man of the world to recognize that her attraction for him was probably j largely physical. She knew that she ' angered and exasperated him even j while she drew him, and that the ! cbstinate, intensely masculine trait in his; character longed to overcome her and prove himself master. She had controlled her love for him bravely enough until tonight, until that moment in Ritzen's little room when he had taken her in his arms and kissed her. Dennis war" married, but lots of other men with whom she had had affairs had also been married, and it had not seemed an insuperable barrier, but herp again Dennis was different. Suppose he had been free. For a J moment Barbara Rave herself up to | the wonderful happiness -of that thought. Free! So that she could have married him! She felt, for the first time, as if she had lost her way on the road of life; as if she had turned aside and .10 missed the greatest treasure of all. Without her Dennis would have been qu'.te happy with Pauline, quite satisfied with her ? but. would he? Wasn't he alreadv tired of of Pauline's insistent affection, her childishness, and her demands upon him? "If I hadn't come there would have have been somebody else some day," Barbara told herself. "That wps life as she knew it. She tried to feel brave and de termined, but when at last she got into bed sleep was impossible. She kept living over and over again those few moments with Dennis O'Hara. H's ljjss had been the real thing ? a seal set upon, her heart and s'oul forevet. The OH ?en in New Ycrk three days' when a letter came from Pauline's mother. Pauline was breakfasting in bed. She had had three late nights and was tired. She also had a very new and becoming ] negligee, and she .wanted to see whethef Dennis noticed it. Appar ently he had not. He got up at the usual time, bathed, and went down stairs to breakfast. "You ought to rest," Pauline scolded. I'm sure you must be dead tir?d.1' p ' ' But. Dennis hated breakfast in details of the home life which seem ed to Pauline so far away now and uninteresting. Then a last appeal : Do come if you can; you don't ' know how much I want to see you. i Pauline laid the letter down with a feeling of guilt. She wished she had told her mother of this trip to New York, and yet in a way she was glad now she had not, because' had she done so she knew this let ter would never have been written, j * She sighed and turned to pour some coffee, and then she saw an [ ether letter which had slipepd out of sight behind the toast rack. It i was addressed in her father's hand writing, and Pauline's heart missed i a beat as she tore the envelope open. My Dear Pauline: I have got to go to Los Angeles for a few days on urgent business. Could you manage to come to your mother? She is not at all well, and I do not" like leading her alone. I am sure Dennis will spare you if you tell him the facts. I hope you are both well. ? . In haste. Your loving Daddy. "I must go. Of course I must go," Pauline said aloud. She sat up in bed and was surprised to Jtee how her hand trembled as she luted her cup. The door opened, and Dennis came in. "Mother's ill," Pauline said in a quivering voice. "111? Let me see." He took the two letters from her and ifeafl them. "It's not as bad as that, i? it?" he asked chidingly. Pauline's eyes filled with tears. "I shall have to go, Dennis."
